J.Lohr Cuvee P A U Paso Robles 2006 Red Wine

J.Lohr Cuvee P A U Paso Robles 2006 Red Wine,$18.69-$49.99 (Power buy),90 points, borders on elegant, and for the $18.69 is a good deal, but falls short of a $50 red wine, in my opinion.The color is Burgundy with a clear rim, and the aroma is a beautiful array of cooking spice, cedar, violets, and Autumn leaves.A medium-plus body carries good acidity, tart red cherry and violets, with noticeably firm tannin that continues through the spicy finish.

The J.Lohr red wine (P A U) is an attempt to recreate true French (Pauillac) red wine, but I'm not able to say they have or haven't done that: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
